Fly-Instinct - Real Connectome "Instinct" Signal Engine

A frozen, non-learning recursive network built on the real fruit-fly MaleCNS connectome (Janelia 2024). Feed any stimulus, get an organic, structured "instinctive" signal that is more alive than noise, less predictable than a script.

Not AI. Not a brain. Not learning. Just real neural wiring, frozen.

What you get

• Real MaleCNS connectome subset (1,587,930 edges, ~25 MB)
• 4 tuned presets: escape / sugar / startle / explore
• Bonus: C. elegans (309-neuron) connectome + 4 presets
• Zero training. Weight-frozen. Deterministic per seed.

Quick start

pip install fly-instinct
fly-instinct fetch-data
fly-instinct run --preset escape --duration 5 --out signal.wav
